- Rob: Nursing Students are you thinking about the transition period, and how are you preparing for it? Nurses who have gone through the transition, when did you transition and what was the experience like?

Great interview. Something ALL nurses (new grads and experienced nurses) should review.
Absolutely. I couldn't agree more! What an excellent portal for all new nurses. Something that should be explored federally as well as internationally. Each nurse is exposed to a different viewpoint of the health care system but intrinsically is feeling similar emotions in their transitional experiences.
Just the information I have been looking for. I do admire your writing style and the clarity in your piece is just great. Thanks
